His hands a bow and an arrow who has a beautiful, shining and well-equipped quiver
fastened to His waist and has a pair of large lotus eyes, who is adorned with a tuft of
matted locks on His head and who is seen journeying with S∂tå and Lakmaƒa. (2)

›r∂ Råmaís virtues, Umå (Pårvat∂ ), are mysterious. The sages as well as learned
men develop dispassion (when they appreciate them ); while the deluded fools who are
hostile to ›r∂ Hari and have no love for piety get bewildered to hear of them.

I have portrayed to the best of my ability the incomparable and charming affection
( for ›r∂ Råma ) of the citizens (of Ayodhyå ) as well as of Bharata. Now hear of the all-holy
exploits of the Lord, that He wrought in the forest to the delight of gods, men and sages. On
one ocasion ›r∂ Råma culled lovely flowers and made with His own hands a number of
ornaments, with which He fondly decked S∂tå and sat with Her on a beautiful rock of
crystal. The foolish son of Indra ( the lord of celestials ) took the form of a crow and wanted
to test the might of ›r∂ Råma ( the Lord of Raghus ) even as the most dull-witted ant would
sound the depths of the ocean. The stupid fool, who had disguised himself as a crow with a
sinister motive, bit S∂tå in the foot with his beak and flew away. The Lord of Raghus came to
know it only when blood ran from Her foot, and fitted a shaft of reed to His bow. (1ó4)
